Here were my reading on a z134 before a rebuild (actually ended up only changing the rings) the valve clearances were checked before. The rings on #3 and #4 were really worn down but the sleeves were within specs so I only used a cylinder hone and changed the rings. The engine had 6000+ hours...

If you look at your local facebook marketplace, kijiji or craiglist you will often find used tires and rims as a set for cheaper than new rims and tires look for Ford 8n Massey 35, 50, 135 202 rims they should all fit. I would get the tractor running good before investing into rims and new...

Looks like changing the plugs did the trick sputtering practically gone, used tractor for 3 hours to move 20tons of gravel with back blade. Previous ones had fouled up, I cleaned them with a wire brush and carb cleaner but I guess that wasn't enough. I used Champion D16 plugs because that is...

Quick question for Can Do, what is your timing set to at idle, I also have the Pertronix system installed om my 1955 TO35 and i'm troubleshooting to odd sputter, I checked my timing and at idle it 30 degrees, normally with points the idle timing would be 6 degrees, and 26 degrees at high RPM.
